Why is transparency necessary in both nomination and campaign?

Correct answer: So voters can understand the candidate’s eligibility and policies

Answer: A. Transparency means that relevant information is open, clear and available for checking. During nomination, voters and election authorities need to know whether a candidate has submitted the required information and meets the conditions for contesting. During the campaign, voters need to understand the candidate’s policies, promises and public position. Option A is correct because this information supports informed comparison and responsible voting. Option B is wrong because transparency is meant to improve participation and choice, not stop voting. Option C is wrong because a fixed result would destroy the purpose of an election. Option D is wrong because hiding candidates and information prevents public evaluation. Memory cue: transparency lets citizens see, compare and decide.
